Dr. Zoe D. Katze

This is one of the funniest stories that I have ever heard.

Zoe D. Katze, Ph.D., C.Ht., DAPA, is a fully credentialed psychotherapist. Zoe is a kitty.

Zoe's owner, Dr. Steve K. D. Eichel, a licensed psychotherapist, was tired of all of the diploma mills giving people degrees that they were clearly not qualified for. To demonstrate his frustration with this system, Dr. Eichel decided do got Zoe her credentials.

Zoe's credentials look impressive. She is certified by three major hypnotherapy associations, having met their “strict training requirements” and having had her background thoroughly reviewed. She holds a Diplomate in psychotherapy from an association that claims to promote the highest standards among psychotherapists.

Zoe is actually more qualified for this job than most :-)

Better Airport Security

A professor at Colorado State University developed a super hydrangea that can detect the chemicals in explosive devices. We should see these plants at airports around the world soon :-)

I feel safer already!

Jack Lalanne Dies at 96

Jack Lalanne died today at the ripe old age of 96. He started as an exercise guru back when TV was black and white. Lately he has been doing infomercials for the Power Juicer.

RIP Jack Lalanne.

Boo In The Sun

What better way to spend a cold Saturday morning than sitting in your favorite spot in the sun. It is a balmy 5 degrees outside but Boo Boo doesn't care :-)

Ferrari FF

Ferrari just announced the new FF. This 6.3 litter V-12 car will have all-wheel drive and do 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.

Unfortunately, it has the distinction of being even uglier than the Porsche Panamera. This is a car only a 412BB owner could love :-)

Jawbone Era

Jawbone just announced the new Era headset. I have been using the Icon for about a year and love it. The best thing about this is the NoiseAssassin technology. It is the best noise cancelling headset that I have ever used.

If I needed a new headset, this would be it.

Time Sure Moves Quickly

It is hard to believe that Eastern Airlines went out of business 20 years ago today. They closed their doors at midnight without telling anyone ahead of time. People were stranded all over the country. Time flies.

Taxes - Sad But True

This is sad but true!

Happy Birthday LOL Cats

Today is the fourth birthday of one of the most popular sites on the interwebitudes - I Can Haz Cheeseburger. For those of you not familiar with this site, it is hilarious!

Aloha

Unfortunately, it is once again time to leave the sun and warmth of Hawaii. Time to go back to work in a balmy Ohio winter. :-)

Next year the conference is in Maui. :-)

Aloha!

The Beach

The beach out in front of the Hyatt here is Kauai is pretty amazing. The cliff on the left has been in several movies. Harrison Ford jumped off of this cliff once.

It is 77 here today and 26 with snow at home. Not looking forward to that :-)

Perfect Sunset

Another prefect Hawaiian sunset!

Room With A View

You have to love a room with a view! This is the view from our room here in Poipu Kauai. We are here all week for the HICSS conference. It was 80 here today and 26 at home. It is hard not to love Hawaii in the winter.

Back to work at the conference now.

Island Time

Everything moves slower in the islands. I have never seen a snail this large. This guy must be the envy of his friends with this pretty shell :-)

Beauty Everywhere

There is beauty everywhere in Kauai. I took this photo on our hotel room lanai (patio) this morning.

New Years In Kauai

Kauai is a great place to spend the New Year. Although it is warm at home right now, that won't last for long. Kauai is 75 and sunny every day. In addition, where else in the world can you get a Puka Dog? :-)
